Multimedia summaries of research are no longer niche: publishers and authors are increasingly using short videos to explain findings, boost discoverability, and widen reach. A cross-disciplinary analysis found a sevenfold increase in video abstracts between 2010 and 2018, with growth concentrated in journals from major publishers; typical lengths fall between one and five minutes.<\/p>\n

This trend matters for authors because some journals now invite or publish video abstracts alongside articles, and evidence suggests videos are associated with higher views, greater social attention, and small increases in citations. This article maps which disciplines and types of journals most commonly use or prioritize video abstracts, explains why publisher policies vary by field, shows practical examples, and offers guidance for authors deciding whether to invest in a video summary.<\/p>\n
